Article 1 (3) of the 1945 Constitution states that "Indonesia is a country of law." The provision of the article is a constitutional basis that Indonesia is a state based on law. Law is placed as the only rule in the life of society, nation, and state (supremacy of law). Before the amendment of the 1945 Constitution, Indonesia is a country based on law, contained in the preamble, the 1945 Constitution body. A statement that Indonesia is a country of law can also be seen in the 1945 explanation. Applicability of 1945 before and after the amendment is followed by different constitutional structure, which will give different meaning as a based on law state. In Continental European legal systems, rechtsstaat legal state building is known. Meanwhile, other parts of the world, the concept of the rule of law state extracted from Anglo Saxon states. Both laws state models prioritize different aspects. Rechtsstaat concept prioritizes wetmatigheid principles which later becomes rechtmatigheid. Meanwhile, the rule of law prioritizes equality before the law. Due to differences in emphasis in these operations, there arose the different elements between rechtsstaat concept and the rule of law concept.
